CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“Through Marni's coaching, I was able to develop a healthier system that helped me to motivate myself and incorporate exercise, so that I could be my best self when it came to dealing with my high cholesterol and stress. I was able to manage my high cholesterol better, work on lowering it, and even find healthier alternatives to my regular meals.
Using some of Marni's recommended sleep suggestions, I was able to finally find a deep, restful 8 hours of sleep. My body feels less lethargic and "heavy," and she was also able to give me techniques to deal with mental stress and to combat rumination.”

“I loved working with Marni, it helped walk me through many obstacles I was dealing with - trying to eat a more balanced diet, eating on-the-go and hacks around that, and making time to eat lunch itself during the work day. As we got further into our sessions, I started discussing and working through my time management issues, challenges with work and managing people, and trying to give myself space/grace with deep-seated family issues.
I was nervous to start to dive into everything (and was afraid to carve an hour out of my week to devote to just me!) but once we did, I felt much more grounded and in control. I have a much better mindset for tackling issues as they come up, managing stress, and definitely eating a more balanced diet to boot.
Highly recommend working with Marni!”

“I was always on the go, and while I help other people find a better work/life balance, I struggled with severe anxiety at the grocery store and often spent too much money eating out and eating the wrong things, causing my chronic Lyme disease to flare up more than I’d like. After going through the program, I have not only benefited from an organized, reliable system for food shopping and cooking, I now have the tools and knowledge I need to stay consistent with healthier eating and exercise to keep my Lyme symptoms at bay AND save myself some money. It’s been over 3 months since finishing the program, and even during times of grief and immense life changes, I have been able to stay consistent in my daily movement, decrease panic attacks, and eat better on the fly rather than resort to unhealthy, self-sabotaging behaviors that would (in the past) land me on months of expensive medications and bed rest.”

“Before I started working with Marni, I was really and truly a mess. I was completely overstimulated; over-functioning all day at work, absolutely depleted during leisure/family time, and was dealing with very disruptive sleep issues. Marni has helped me find a level of peace and clarity I would not have thought possible 6 months ago. The reason for the turnaround is simple; Marni is so damn good at her job. Apart from being smart, intuitive, and compassionate, she possesses a broad knowledge base from which she draws easy-to-follow solutions to anything thrown at her.“

“Working with Marni was so illuminating. The tips and tools she offered me were rooted, clear, and concise, and have been effectively helping me balance my health and countenance! She delivered information with a calming approach that I could truly receive; her energy was so supportive and she was so knowledgeable in her fields. It's clear she wants her clients to thrive, and I certainly have been!”

“Working with Marni was a transformative experience. I knew what I wanted to accomplish and had most of the pieces, but needed help coming up with a tangible plan to make it happen. Marni made the program entirely custom which made all the difference in sticking with it and seeing results.”

“I knew I was probably heading toward burnout at the rate I was going but I didn't know what to do or where to start to help myself. Now I feel like I finally have tangible tools to manage my stress as it comes up, and I feel more resilient as I deal with the day to day stuff that used to destroy me. I can prioritize things much better and have been able to set up flexible routines that I can adjust as my schedule changes (which it always does) so I can make sure I'm taking care of myself on a daily basis.”

“When I first started working with Marni, I was struggling with insomnia and lack of concentration. Lack of quality sleep has been an ongoing issue and it was affecting my energy and focus during the day. Working through the pain points and creating a sleep regimen with Marni has worked wonders! I'm going to bed earlier and sleeping at least 7 hours now. I haven't slept that long or as peacefully in years. My focus is much better and stress is much more manageable. Marni is phenomenal and wouldn't hesitate to work with her again.”

“Marni is someone I've known in the music industry and saw how her career shifted from helping her clients build their fan bases to helping them get into tip-top shape, mentally and physically. As a health coach, her awareness and ability to ask the right questions helped me realize what was causing my stress and how it affected my energy. We came up with a plan to align myself and it never felt cookie cutter - the program was completely customized. It's hard to look at yourself with a critical eye and ask for help, but Marni makes that process easy and you come out on top at the end.”
Tom M. | Marketing Executive
CORPORATE AND ORGANIZATIONS
“We engaged Marni to join our entire Page 1 team, initially one-on-one, then as a company. Marni’s ability to help the team understand their own strengths, emotions, and highlight areas where we could all work on ourselves as individuals to benefit the whole team was incredible. Without question we will be working with Marni ongoing.”
Ashley Page | Owner, Page 1 Management

“Marni is wonderful to work with. She recently led a virtual session with over 30 art service workers on holistic health and wellness. Her presence put everyone at ease and she made it easy for us to get energized for the topic. She gave us a thoughtful big picture understanding of the discipline. She provided examples and trends she’s observed, including how to best set a culture of holistic health in an organization. And she gave us practical tools for holistic stress management and preventing burnout, for ourselves, the teams we lead, and the artists and companies that we serve through our memberships. We came away with an increased understanding, tangible tools, and energy and excitement to focus on bringing the work into our own lives.”
Sean McManus | Executive Director, Manitoba Music

“Marni is well-known in the independent music community, well-respected, and knowledgeable. In June 2022, she presented on an A2IM Indie Week panel titled, How to Support Your Staff Mentally and Emotionally? The compelling panel conversation focused on building and sustaining supportive work environments and mental health best practices in a work setting. Marni’s input on the panel was stellar and the information she shared was extremely topical, relatable, and actionable.
A2IM Indie Week is the largest music business conference in the world devoted to the independent music community. Our +1200 attendees are made up of C-Suite and decision-makers who gather annually to exchange ideas and network.
The demand to see this panel, both in person and virtually, was huge. I was in the room and witnessed many attendees who were eager to ask questions; many approached Marni after the panel to speak to her personally. I was one of them! To say this panel was well-received is an understatement.”
Sheryl Cohen | Head of Strategic Planning, A2IM (American Association of Independent Music)
